Fridge freezer with large freezer

Our fridge freezer has just died so we're looking for a new one. Our current one has 159l net capacity for the fridge and 93l for the freezer. The fridge is okay, could do with being a little bit bigger, but we'd really like more space in the freezer so that we could do more batch cooking. However, all the models we've looked at seem to be pretty much the same size or smaller for the freezer - although we can get much more fridge capacity. Are there any reliable models out there with a bigger freezer?

Can you fit a taller one in? We purposely went for a 2m high one and got an extra freezer drawer compared to our old one: www.coopelectricalshop.co.uk/Hotpoint-FFFL2000P/id-HOT-FFR-FFFL2000P-W

BB - thanks. Yeah, we're looking at a taller one (were restricted before) because we assumed that would give us more space in both fridge and freezer. However, we've found - as with the model you linked to - that a lot of really tall models actually have a smaller freezer capacity than our current one according to the spec (yours is only 87 litres).

I know that people say that capacity doesn't tell you everything, but I can't imagine how a smaller capacity would give us more usable space. If it's not too much hassle, would you mind telling me roughly how deep your freezer drawers are, please?
